King-Chavez Neighborhood of Schools
Welcome home to King-Chavez Neighborhood of Schools! King-Chavez Neighborhood of Schools is comprised of 5 public charter schools, serving students from TK through 12th grade. Each unique school was born out of community need in the Historic Barrio District and Downtown neighborhoods of San Diego. At King-Chavez schools, educating students involves more than the mastery of daily lessons. An unwavering personal investment is made in every student in every school, rooted from a foundation of love. We help our students discover their own path, with the hope that they will, in turn, return to work in and grow their community. Our mission is simple, yet powerful: We seek excellence in academics, arts, and athletics from the foundation of love. We encourage our teachers to express their creativity through innovative curriculum, share and collaborate with others, and participate in continuous professional development. Our TK through high school matriculation lets us become truly invested in “our” children. Through our Alumni Association, we support them well into their future as adults: whether that be college or career. Come and see the smiling faces of our children, and discover your purpose here at the Neighborhood.
